This paper discusses the results of the influences of subcritical (T = 320 °C; P = 17 MPa) and supercritical water (T = 374 °C; P = 24.6 MPa) on the yield and composition of oil hydrocarbons generated from carbonaceous–siliceous Domanic shale rocks with total organic content (Corg) of 7.07%. It was revealed that the treatment of the given shale rock in sub- and supercritical water environments resulted in the decrease of oil content due to the intensive gas formation. The content of light hydrocarbon fractions (saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons) increased at 320 °C from 33.98 to 39.63%, while at 374 °C to 48.24%. Moreover, the content of resins decreased by almost twice. Insoluble coke-like compounds such as carbene–carboids were formed due to decomposition of kerogen after supercritical water treatment. Analysis of oil hydrocarbons with FTIR method revealed a significant number of oxygen-containing compounds, which are the hydrogenolysis products of structural fragments formed after destruction of kerogen and high-molecular components of oil. The gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) method was applied to present the changes in the composition of mono- and dibenzothiophenes, which indicate conversion of heavy components into lighter aromatic hydrocarbons. The specific features of transforming trace elements in rock samples, asphaltenes, and carbene–carboids were observed by using the isotopic mass-spectrometry method.

For binary systems of the type an arbitrary component + n-alkane we derived relations, on the basis of the Barker theory and on the basis of the group contribution concept, for predicting gE and hE from one system to another when the n-alkane length is changed. To carry out the prediction it is not necessary to evaluate any adjustable parameters. The developed method was tested using a large number of different systems covering alcohols, amines, ketones, esters, chlorinated derivatives of hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and n-alkanes from n-pentane to n-hexadecane. The results of predictions are in very good agreement with experimental data in the cases, when the n-alkanes involved are not longer than n-decane. Systematic regular deviations in hE in the cases, when at least one of n-alkanes involved is longer, can be explained by the presence of orientation effects in the pure longer n-alkanes. The correction suggested by us for these effects improves considerably results obtained. The developed method appears to be suitable for the systematic prediction of excess quantities of systems of the given type and represents an effective test of the Barker theory.
